Race, Natriuretic Peptides, and High-Carbohydrate Challenge: A Clinical Trial.

Conclusions: Racial differences in NP levels are evident in young healthy adults suggesting a state of NP deficiency exists in blacks. Impaired NP processing and clearance may contribute to race-based NP differences. Higher miR-425 levels in blacks motivate additional studies to understand differences in NP downregulation after physiological perturbations.
